I noticed a small bald patch in my bedroom carpet near the dresser a few weeks ago. Then another under the bed. Then I spotted tiny cream-colored larvae crawling along the baseboard, and I realized I had carpet moths. It's the worst. These things eat through wool carpets and natural fibers, leaving holes and threadbare spots that only get worse if you don't act fast.
Carpet moths become active from March through October, feasting on keratin found in materials like wool, cashmage, silk, and fur. The damage comes from their larvae, which hatch in dark, undisturbed areas and eat through carpet fibers relentlessly.
